override the auto driving

I must be tired right now but I don’t see how a remote operator could have driven better in this situation.

You can’t get away from someone blocking your car in traffic without risk.of hitting them or other people or vehicles.

You probably meant they ought to drive away regardless of what they hit, if it helps the passenger escape a.dire.situation? But I have to wonder if a remote operator would agree to be put on the spot like that.

How do you avoid interaction if it’s being done automatically by your machine when you open up a print dialog, and if malicious servers can use the same names as legit printers?

I believe that rclone already has Proton Drive support.

It’s been removed in most of the US.

On some phones you won’t get anything when searching for “lockdown” but you most likely have it, it’s typically under Display > Lock screen > Shown lockdown option.

If you like this you may like Chrome too, because that’s exactly how Google is trying to do things now.

Here’s the thing. I don’t want my browser to do things under the hood. It’s either protecting my privacy or it’s not. That means it’s either sending cookies to the website I’m visiting or it’s not.

When Firefox takes it upon itself to bypass cookies and collect information about me, that’s surprising and unpredictable and may fail in ways unique to Firefox. It’s one more thing to worry about.

If Mozilla wants to outright and overly protect me they can offer an “allow cookies” button like LibreWolf does, our how you can get with the CAD add-on (Cookie Auto Delete).

If they won’t do that then stick to blocking third-party cookies and get out of the way.

I don’t want Firefox to second-guess what I want to share with anybody, and assuming I want to share anything with advertisers, even anonimized data, is an abuse of my trust.

We don’t owe advertisers anything, btw. They’re a parasitic industry and the sooner it dies and we move on the better.

Exactly.

The reason most companies decide to contribute to FOSS is because it’s a lot more efficient to fix bugs and add/influence features upstream than to do it at your end of the code independently of everybody else.

It will fall through much faster than that. I’m thinking two years, tops.

I use whatever online storage service I want because you can add your own encryption layer so you only sync encrypted files. rclone supports lots of services and will also encrypt files for you.

They’re doing IP location checks, and they’re doing them badly (there’s not really a way to do them well). It’s not working for me with people in the same town, and other people are reporting it’s randomly working or not working with locations in the same neighborhood.

Unfortunately over here it seems to be doing IP-based location as I’m not able to add my brother who lives in a different part of the same town.

You don’t have to install drivers or CUPS on client devices. Linux and Android support IPP out of the box. Just make sure your CUPS on the server is multicasting to the LAN.

You may need to install Avahi on the server if it’s not already (that’s what does the actual multicasting). The printer(s) should then auto magically appear in the print dialogs on apps on Linux clients and in the printer service on Android.

On Linux it may take a few seconds to appear after you turn it on and may not appear when it’s off. On Android it shows up anyways as long as the CUPS server is on.

From what I understand OP’s images aren’t the same image, just very similar.

short of all using the same wordpress or whatnot hoster, that is.

That’s the thing, that’s common practice. It’s basically a given nowadays for shared web hosting to use one IP for a few dozen websites, or for a service to leverage a load/geo-balancer with 20 IPs into a CDN serving static assets for thousands of domains.

with infrastructure the size of twitter you can also blackhole their whole IP range

Just one note, services the size of Twitter typically use cloud infrastructure so if you block that indiscriminately you risk blocking a lot of unrelated stuff.

Any PC can do that, it’s called “status after power off” or something like that.

It stops working occasionally but they release fixed versions pretty fast.

Also, it’s established practice for workers to stagger their off days across the week.

This way both the company and things like services, banks, stores etc. can be available 7 days a week without any undue pressure.

So they’re already well positioned to take advantage of flexible working time.

Isn’t it fourth?

Mozilla has already shipped strict privacy mode by default in recent versions of Firefox so they’re already a leg up on this.

Google is currently trying to transition people to its own proprietary method of tracking (where the browser itself tracks you) so they would love it if third party cookies were no longer usable for that.

Mozilla has also added a direct tracking feature (anonimized) to Firefox btw. Not sure what their agenda is.

Websites are irrelevant, if third party cookies stop working in major browsers there’s no point in setting them anymore, they’ll be ignored.
